What's Your Favorite Brewery (Out of State)

Ok, I could drink Old Burnside, Hooker, Cottrell, and the other locals all day long: theres nothing like good, fresh, local beer. But is there any out-of-state beer that you can just grab, knowing that it will be awesome?

For me, I'd have to go with Stone and Victory Breweries as my "go-to" beers when I'm in doubt. Stone's ales are just divine. Packed with flavor, complexity, and finishing smooth, I've never tried a variety of Stone that I didn't like. I know that some people could take or leave Victory, but I personally love their big, loud beer style that produces one of my favorite beers ever: Victory Storm King Imperial Stout.

I am partial to Coopers Cave Brewery in Glens Falls when I head up to the ADK'S.Ilove there Pathfinder Porter and Sagamore Stout,Heading East Cambridge Brewery and Boston Beer works at RedSox Games,and going South I' say Brooklyn Brerwery Love the "Pennant Ale"

Russian River makes the best commercial beer I have ever had, Pliny the Elder. Stone is pretty darn good, as is Red Hook product. Lengthwise Brewing in Bakersfield CA is great if you are ever in that God forsaken town. For all around performance though, Great Divide in CO wins it for me. I am sad they are leaving CT.
